Walter...I did not know C. platyphylla and finally had a chance to do
a search on it...found some pix - most interesting foliage!
Also found an article on WeedPatch.com, "Sedges and Native Grasses
for the Shade" that says it wants moist soil?? Very interesting
article, BTW, lists many sedges I do not know plus natives for
Midwest.

Don't think you're missing something with Molina caerulea
'Variegata'; neat grass - the local nurseries are missing
something...wish I had the sun for it.
